I love this old style fantasy art.

Clyde Caldwell did a lot of the art for old DnD cRPGs and has a webbed sight still up.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Wow, that's a cool site. Thanks for sharing.

Frank Frazetta for more Conan inspired art

[–] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Right? It has such a distinctive look.

Hey, wait a minute. That's an axe, not a sword!

[–] syreus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

All right. You win. I see you've played axeyswordy before.

Deception is the key to victory.

Those Conan books were some spicy stuff for 12 year old me

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lots of heaving bosoms?

[–] dhtseany@lemmy.ml 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Armor covered with those little spikes and all.

Oh lawd.

He cumming.

I've got the whole collection of stories to give to my little dude when he's old enough. I'm stoked

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

BRMC is under the same Ballad health umbrella. 29 counties, and two hospitals just went down?

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Heh I think you replied to the wrong comment but yeah.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Ugh. I'm like 15 books short of a complete SSOC run.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

looking at the illustration, i was thinking the same. These shouldn't have been accessible to 7 y.o. me

I've "read" them all 🤷

The reason it was Conan magazine and not comic was so they could get away with violence and nudity in the world of the comics code authority
